Summary

This trial tests whether a daily sage extract supplement, called SageXtra, can improve memory, attention, and reaction time in healthy middle-aged men and women. Participants take either the sage supplement or a placebo for a period, then complete a series of computer-based mental tasks. The goal is to see if this natural herb, known for antioxidant properties, offers a simple way to support cognitive function as we age.
